Wu Ze was filled with regret.
He regretted that she had slowly become Mrs Yuan as he gave in to her step by step.
If he could have understood that he liked her when they first met in England five years ago, he would have been able to approach her bravely.
Or two years ago, when she was at the lowest point of her life and was imprisoned, he would have been able to protect her. Would he not be able to properly exchange the daisy for a rose today?
Time could not be reversed, and everything could not be repeated.
After pursuing Yuan Xuan for more than ten years, she finally became Mrs Yuan, but she did not receive the happiness that she had expected.
Wu Ze's heart ached, but he could not find a reason to forcefully snatch her away …
Wu Ze's thoughts surged. His fingertips were slightly cold, and his gaze could not leave the little woman in front of him.
Of course, Mu Chenyan was not aware of the intense struggle in Wu Ze's mind.
She was almost done eating. When she saw that Wu Ze had not eaten much, she smiled and asked, "Why aren't you eating? Is it because the dishes I ordered don't suit your taste, Brother? "
Wu Ze gently put down his knife and fork. He took a tissue and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth. His almond-shaped eyes were full of smiles. "No! It suits my appetite. Compared to eating these foods, watching you eat is more appetizing … "
Mu Chenyan was speechless.
This was Wu Ze's first time eating with Mu Chenyan. Was he slightly infatuated with this woman? He felt very satisfied just watching her eat.
Mu Chenyan was slightly embarrassed. She lowered her head and smiled. A small piece of caviar at the corner of her mouth caught Wu Ze's attention. He took a tissue and reached out to help her wipe it …
This ambiguous action caused Mu Chenyan's body to stiffen.
She was slightly embarrassed. She lightly dodged and said with a smile, "I'll do it myself …"
As she said that, she reached out to take the tissue. Her fingertips accidentally brushed past his palm, and the cool sensation startled her.
The atmosphere instantly froze in this awkwardness.
Wu Ze straightened his body and his eyes left her slightly blushing cheeks. To avoid awkwardness, he changed the topic and asked, "Chenyan, you're looking for me for something. Just tell me what I can help you with."
Wu Ze's tone was very sincere. He did not want to take advantage of her, but it did not mean that he could not be a very good guardian.
He could not hold hands with her, but it did not mean that he could not silently protect her like a friend.
Mu Chenyan paused. She did have something to ask of him, but Wu Ze's current state left her at a loss.
Mu Chenyan was not a fool. She would not simply flirt with another man and pretend to be innocent and sweet!
Wu Ze was a meticulous person with strong self-discipline. If he didn't have feelings for her, he wouldn't have agreed to everything!
When he saw that Mu Chenyan was slightly hesitant, Wu Ze continued, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll treat your requests as if they're friends. I'll do my best if I can, but I won't force you if I can't. I'm not asking for anything in return because you're Mrs Yuan, and I know this very well!"
When Mu Chenyan heard this, she let out a long sigh of relief. She knew that Wu Ze was indeed a gentleman. He had said this to make her feel at ease.
Mu Chenyan picked up the cup and drank two mouthfuls of water before saying softly, "Wu Huai is your cousin, right?"
Wu Ze did not know why Mu Chenyan was asking about Wu Huai. He nodded lightly, "He's a captain in the major crimes department of the police station."
"I heard about it! Both of you are legendary figures in Luo Hai! "Mu Chenyan said lightly.
Wu Ze suddenly laughed, "Hehe, we've made a fool of ourselves. Both of us have liked to play fighting and killing games since we were young! We seemed to have a dream of saving the world. He didn't inherit the family business and became a police officer while I chose to become a lawyer. Now, my younger brother and sister are learning how to manage the family company. "
The outside world did not understand these two cousins. They all thought that they had given up on managing a large company and insisted on becoming a police officer or lawyer. They dealt with extremely vicious people all day and the money they earned was not even a fraction of Wu Clan's income …
